36: Refined Cloud Walkers

Just as Mu Feng expected.

Although Wang Xiao knew he urgently needed wind spirit stones and wanted to raise the price, seeing Mu Feng so resolute, he could only compromise.

wind spirit stones were of great use in Mu Feng's hands, but in his own hands, they were just two ordinary Materials.

It was better to exchange them for the healing Medicinal Pills he currently lacked the most.

The number of injured people had been steadily increasing these past two days.

He was lucky and hadn't been injured yet, but he couldn't guarantee his luck would last forever.

If he got injured then and had no healing Medicinal Pills, his exploration progress would be stalled.

It was a losing proposition, and anyone who wasn't a fool could figure that out.

Moreover, the price Mu Feng offered was fair.

One for one.

He didn't know if he was making a profit, but he certainly wasn't losing money.

System Reminder: Your Qing Ling Pill transaction is complete; you have obtained wind spirit stone x2.

The other party was quite straightforward.

After setting the price, he sent the wind spirit stones to him.

These were two stones the size of an infant's arm.

Their material was unknown, and they were very light.

Wind runes were etched on them, and a faint white glow surrounded them.

wind spirit stone: A wind-attribute stone, it is a High Grade Material for refining speed Magical Artifacts.

“That’s right, it’s them!”

“Finally got them!”

Touching the wind spirit stones he had acquired, Mu Feng was filled with excitement.

With these two stones, as long as he gathered one more warm jade, he could refine the Cloud Stepping Boots he had.

Cloud Stepping Boots: Silverback Demon Wolf Hide 1/1, iron essence 5/5, warm jade 3/2, wind spirit stone 2/2, Soul 2/7.

“Still missing one warm jade.”

“Hope I can get it soon.”

System Reminder: Your friend Li Chenxi.186 is sending you a message. Do you accept?

“Why is she sending me a message?”

Mu Feng thought for a moment.

He nodded and accepted.

The other party wasn't the type to be long-winded.

Since she was looking for him, she must have something important.

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, do you still have any healing Medicinal Pills?”

“So she’s here to ask for medicine.”

Mu Feng smiled knowingly.

It was pretty much what he expected.

“Since that’s the case… Hehe!”

Mu Feng's eyes darted around, and an idea immediately struck him.

Mu Feng.186: “I still have two or three pills, but I don’t plan to sell them; I’m keeping them for myself.”

Li Chenxi didn't know Mu Feng was trying to trick her.

Upon hearing that Mu Feng only had two or three Qing Ling Pills left, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

Li Chenxi.186: “Don’t say that, big shot!”

Li Chenxi.186: “Could you spare one for me? I finally managed to get some essence of vegetation, and I was just about to come back and exchange it.”

Li Chenxi.186: “But then I found out it had all been exchanged away.”

Li Chenxi sent three messages consecutively and even sent Mu Feng a wronged emoji.

It was clear that she really wanted the Qing Ling Pill.

Mu Feng.186: “What, are you injured?”

Mu Feng probed indirectly.

Li Chenxi.186: “Yes, big shot, I had bad luck this morning and ran into a Yao Beast pack.”

Mu Feng.186: “I see. However, I only have two or three pills left in stock, and I plan to keep them just in case.”

Mu Feng feigned a difficult expression, waiting to raise the price.

Li Chenxi.186: “How about this, big shot? Aren’t you short on warm jade? If you’re willing to spare one pill for me, besides giving you an essence of vegetation, I’ll also give you a piece of warm jade!”

Mu Feng.186: “Let me think about it.”

Seeing that the other party actually had warm jade, Mu Feng was overjoyed.

He had originally only intended to extort some Spirit Stones.

But he didn't expect the other party to give him such a big surprise.

However, he still had to keep up the act.

As for how the other party knew he lacked warm jade, Mu Feng guessed it was because he had previously listed items requiring warm jade for exchange in the Transaction Channel.

Li Chenxi.186: “Can you, big shot? I really need this Qing Ling Pill.”

Mu Feng.186: “Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll spare one for you!”

Upon hearing that Mu Feng was willing to spare one for her, Li Chenxi was overjoyed.

Li Chenxi.186: “Thank you, big shot!”

Mu Feng.186: “Oh, no need to thank me. My biggest flaw is being soft-hearted.”

The act had to be complete, otherwise, if the other party regretted it, it wouldn't be good.

Li Chenxi.186: “Thank you, big shot.”

System Reminder: Your Qing Ling Pill transaction is complete; you have obtained warm jade x1, essence of vegetation x1.

“Finally, I’ve gathered them all!”

With the addition of the warm jade given by Li Chenxi, all the Materials needed for the Cloud Stepping Boots were gathered.

Mu Feng opened the Workshop, eager to refine the Cloud Stepping Boots.

Cloud Stepping Boots: Silverback Demon Wolf Hide 1/1, iron essence 5/5, warm jade 3/3, wind spirit stone 2/2, Soul 2/7.

System Reminder: Materials have been gathered. Do you wish to refine Cloud Stepping Boots?

“Refine!”

Mu Feng nodded.

System Reminder: It is detected that you do not have an Artifact Refining furnace on your person. Do you wish to use the Artifact Refining furnace provided by the Workshop?

System Reminder: The Workshop's Artifact Refining furnace costs one Spirit Stone to activate each time.

“Use.”

Mu Feng put in one Spirit Stone.

System Reminder: Silverback Demon Wolf Hide -1, iron essence -5, warm jade -3, wind spirit stone -2, Soul -2.

The process of Artifact Refining was basically no different from Alchemy or refining Puppets.

The experienced Mu Feng put various Materials into the Artifact Refining furnace.

Soon, the Artifact Refining furnace began to emit clanging sounds.

Mu Feng waited patiently.

Twenty minutes later, the clanging sounds from the Artifact Refining furnace stopped.

This meant that the Artifact Refining was about to end, which made him very excited.

After gathering Materials for so long, he was finally going to see the results.

With a flash of golden light, a pair of boots emerged from the Artifact Refining furnace.

System Reminder: Cloud Stepping Boots successfully created!

Cloud Stepping Boots: High Grade Magical Artifact. Wearing them greatly increases the wearer's speed.

Mu Feng picked up the Cloud Stepping Boots, his face full of joy.

These were a pair of boots made from wolf hide.

Their exterior was silvery-white, and the surface of the boots was adorned with beautiful patterns.

There were wind symbols on both sides.

The boots were very light overall.

Holding them felt like holding cotton; he didn't feel any weight at all.

“Let’s put them on and test the effect!”

Mu Feng eagerly put on the Cloud Stepping Boots.

“So comfortable.”

“They really don’t feel like they have any weight at all when worn on the feet.”

“Let’s test the speed!”

Mu Feng's mind stirred.

He stretched his legs and ran towards the small hill in front of him.

With a whoosh, his entire body turned into an afterimage.

In the blink of an eye, he was on the opposite hill.

“Awesome!”

“This speed is too fast; it truly lives up to being a High Grade Magical Artifact!”

“It didn’t let me down!”

Mu Feng was very satisfied with the speed of the Cloud Stepping Boots.
